Meta: This ... actually works pretty well as an analysis of the tradeoffs in using the cheapest service. But, it's also a self-serving statement (an ad in all put positioning) from the very provider claiming to have a good reason to charge you more, and so it feels too close to spam to put on HN, you know?

> RingCentral wants ~15K a year for this service, and they think "video" is a worthwhile value add (whoever their customer segment is, it's certainly not me).

Exactly. $1.5k/mo if sounds like a good price for what it needs to do with a decent margin. A company could probably get a few hundred customers the first year and tap out at a few thousand within 5-6 years.

> I would happily pay, say, $300-500/mo for the convenience of a SaaS solution, but ~20K/yr is what I pay for things that actually serve a meaningful purpose for the business.

At this price point it would require too many customers. All of these customers will think that the cost of dealing with their headache is only worth ~$400 - $100/mo. These are terrible customers to base a business on.
The ruling didn't hold up in court.

What's interesting is how Trudeau immediately bowed down to Trump. All he did was to basically threaten to not buy Boeing fighter jets and instead get f35 from Lockheed (which he was contractually obligated to anyways).

I still don't understand why he reacted so submissively to Trump. Having the CSeries sold to Airbus at a huge discount was foolish: The plane already had a profitable amount of orders. Now Europeans are reaping the benefits.

Why didn't he step up?
It seems to me that services like Taboola are something like manipulation-laundering services, providing enough room between deception and a product sold to circumvent the FTC's truth in advertising rules.

Could someone with more knowledge comment - is that at all right? Is there more to it? Could rule tweaks at the FTC have an impact on this?

Hi. I removed the bit you quote because I didn't want my comment to come across as an attack or defamation attempt against anyone.

I remember EvilDragon - you say he was "transparent". He was. He was also fundamentally incapable of finishing the project he took on in any reasonable amount of time, despite repeated assurances that everything was going to go swimmingly from now on. In the end of the day, you take up a project, you take forever to realise it, it's just a bad result and there's nobody else to blame.

"The second guy" (Craig Rothwel, according to wikipedia) fucked up in a different way. Clearly, his company took too many preorders without having any hope to ever fulfill them. But that's just another nail in the coffin- not an excuse for EvilDragon to fuck up his own part of the project.

Sorry, I'm speaking harsher words than I want to speak. These guys really came across as visionnairies - at least they did to me back then. I was very disappointed by their failures.
From my experience as a 90s kid, I've become pretty inoculated against this sort of propaganda. The DARE program and driver safety courses were two examples. I just sort of filter it out now because it doesn't seem REAL.

The stuff that really gets to me isn't the shocking images, but the stories from people. From the guy that got COVID and blogged about his 2 weeks of suffering to my friend who lost his partner in what seemed like an instant. If you want to get to people, share real, unembellished stories. Don't try to persuade either, just give people real stories.

My personal theory: Article IX of their constitution[0].

During WWII, the Japanese were absolutely brutal and persistent. Having your constitution rewritten to forbid a society like that from having a military could lead to some… extremely creative outlets in art.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Rowing is definitely making a comeback and is becoming more popular.
The points they make are interesting. Imagine if Uber/Lyft/your-preferred-method-of-transportation showed you those particular details for that trip i.e. number of hours driven preceding this trip, vehicle condition, etc. Yes, a lot of riders no doubt consider the trip to be a commodity such that only the lowest price matters, but some people did/do pick Lyft over Uber when Uber had the better price for reasons other than price.
Solid State Physics has a bunch of different types of models to try to explain the behavior of electrons in semiconductors and conductors. Most of them are only valid under specific situations and they sometimes give erroneous results unless you apply them carefully. That being said, your absolutely right that the industry uses approximations. They usually use some kind of simulation physics package similar to the ones used by EE engineers when designing circuits.
I think the most important part would be to give someone time to vet that it's legitimate. Stack Exchange has on the order of 100 developers, it wouldn't be hard to CC account creation or password reset notices to the manager of a new hire, and in that case, 10 minutes would often be enough to say "Uh, I haven't hired anyone named Curious Llama, who are they and why are they requesting developer access to an obsolete resource?" and put the brakes on.
I don't see why?

We know the US used the NSA to gain an economic edge in negotiations with the EU. It even shared the information commercially didn't it?

I don't think the US would hesitate to interfere for a moment if it wanted. The EU is already under US sanctions for building a gas pipeline with Russia. There is the Iran situation and the wider Middle East and North Africa messes and Turkey. Plenty of places for a disagreement to form...

The EU has no major beef with China (I would prefer if they did, there is a lot to oppose about the PRC). China also has a much more isolationist/localist foreign policy so they're less likely to act and less likely to come into conflict with the EU.

I'd love to learn more about their canary rollouts. Is there any more info from either them or similar large sites about this?

For example, what usually has to happen for a dev to trigger a rollback? Or how do they handle stateful changes such as database schema changes?
> Why make a new rowing machine when Concept 2 is the calibration standard all athletes use and has a relatively open USB interface?

Locking people into the real revenue machine, the content, is critical.

This is not intended to be an affordable alternative to the Concept 2, it's a different market entirely.

If you're worried about interoperability and cost, they probably don't anticipate getting your business.
Why are you giving advice so confidently about a goal without actually having achieved said goal yourself?
Software does control airplanes and elevators. When it fails, it can kill people.

But when people think elevator software is broken, they don't take the elevator. When (enough) people think voting software is broken, they topple governments and start civil wars.

And some people who disagree with you are still thinking for themselves. That "not thinking for yourself" is lazy argument.
This tracks. One of the things that always gets me about US media is that gratuitous rape - even fairly graphic rape scenes on TV - is just fine as long it doesn't involve visible nipples.
What you are describing is a "hard coup", while in the case of Dilma it was what can be described as a "soft coup"..

Yes the congress followed all the legal proceedings, but in the end they did not proved that the accounting maneuver her government did was illegal and therefore unfit to what could be called as a legal impeachment proceeding.

If you add this to everything that was happening behind the curtains, and history will make this even more clear, yes it was a coup, just that, this is of a different sort.
(BTW a lot of important players of the time are starting to confess everything they did, and how dirty it was)

Imagine that without any legal proof, the legislative chamber can throw out any legitimate president basically nullifying the people wish and therefore, the democracy. Also this will make the legislative power, the most powerful one over the two others, going against the three power(separation of powers) concept of Montesquieu.

That's why the impeachment proceeding cannot be only based in political grounds, but also need a clear legal basis on the government doing something wrong based on the current legal framework.

In the case of Dilma, only the political axis was at play, and a dirty one i must say, where they didn't respect the legal grounds and in the end there was no proof of her wrongdoing's.
Yeah tbh I didn't know what to expect when clicking the link and it's bringing up feelings where I feel like a bit of an imposter? (imposter syndrome) because I don't track and organize all my learnings. Not sure if imposter is the the right term - perhaps a sense of loss or regret over all the things that I could have written down and revisited over the years.

I've also been seeing everyone (at least a lot of people) talk about roam, etc. to meticulously track and link everything and not sure whether it's something I should invest time in vs. everything else that I want/need to get done.
> So if Google can still track me at the same level, but others can no longer track me, that IS an improvement in privacy.

This is only true if Google does not sell the gathered information to others. If they sell the data, the net privacy gain is nil.
I think if you put it to a straight popular vote it would pass. Unfortunately many things that have massive popular support are politically impossible, because of our deeply unresponsive political system which largely ignores the will of the people.

These types of trips are very dirty however, so reducing them has a bigger impact than it would seem at first.
Unshaven drivers? I can't help but read this as a dogwhistle to people who don't like regular taxis because they're often driven by immigrants with facial hair.

Incidentally I happen to believe uber's initial rise to popularity exploited this as well. Lots of people talking about how great it was that uber's drivers were 'just regular guys', as if other taxi drivers are in some way 'irregular.' The only difference I ever saw was the relative proportion of immigrant drivers (a gap which, to Uber's credit, narrowed a lot over the subsequent years.)
Where was it submitted? I couldn't see that anywhere.
Cyberdecks are super cool and this reminds me of them... at least as far as form factor is concerned. I agree with some posters here that this thing is DOA.

Would be very interested to see how this addresses one of the primary underlying pathways of misinformation - confirmation bias. Many people believe information because it confirms their worldview; whether it's provably true or false is often irrelevant. In fact, I suspect that having a belief proved wrong often even reinforces that belief in some cases.

How much does truth matter in a post-truth society?
Well just what org affords me headers and subheaders really. Links to other files by typing [[ then it autocompleted what I start typing.

Structure is a time sink with a poor pay off in my opinion, good search and a bit of good old wetware memory about what you’ve got in there does me fine.

I might be unique in being able to remember generally what’s in my notes.

This article was really interesting to me and something I want to try: http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html

I've used flash cards in the past to memorize things for school - and I'd believe what he describes would really work for learning new complex topics by speeding up some of the basic memory stuff that makes you actually good.

I have a pretty negative impression of Roam though. They talk as if they've invented some new form of computing when they're another centralized document SaaS graph database that's a step up from notion/quip. I think there's real value there building a nice interface and they're probably better than existing options (features around links, etc.), but there's also a ton of bullshit from them that sets off alarms for me. They think they're xerox parc, but they're more like snapchat.

I don't think he meant it as nobody deserves privacy and to control their personal data.

I took it as a "it's there anyway and there's no point for me to pretend that it is not".
I'm trying to remember where, but I once saw this article presented with a very nice guide to replicating the exploits in a VM on a modern computer.

I think it must have been in university, unfortunately when I look up the course number, the resources seem to be (understandably, I suppose) date gated.
OP also says
> but Google will remain committed to tracking everything about you that it possibly can. Except silently, and without your ability to opt out using ad blockers etc.

Also others may no longer track you at the moment but they definitely will do in the future.

So... Google breached a bit deeper in our privacy and paved the way for others to follow them. I can't help seeing them so evil.
I had a lot of fun using this to catch up with some colleagues I haven't seen in a while. Very cool!

I have some feedback:
It would be cool to have some really interesting sculpture art to sort of seed groups of people talking in the museum level. I'm specifically requesting like a mutating 3d fractal sculpture that might invite people to gather. Or a campfire.
I thought that having all the different worlds is cool but if everyone is in one location and you're in a different world it's easy to get isolated.
Along the same lines, it would be cool if the size of the level sort of scaled with the size of the group in some way.
I would call myself a programmer. No language prefix.

This is more or less the idea platform for aircraft electrification.

- Short distances means they can use smaller batteries.

- In small aircraft noise is a big problem.

I'm skeptical we are ready for larger scale aircraft electrification, but for some specific uses like this, it makes sense.
I may begin to trust Google when they provide a single switch to disable ALL tracking on android phone (or better disable all of them by default). That's what my preference is and it isn't respected.
Kind of a dumb title, but it'll make sense when you read it. I have zero interest in motorcycles (let alone maintenance), but it's a fantastic read.
I had exactly the same problem, my solution was to not come up with the idea myself and instead to join as a technical founder to a very early stage venture. There is plenty of teams looking for cofounder, it took me 18 months to find one I was aligned with. Bonus is that you will hear lots of ideas so that might inspire your thinking as well

In terms of motivation I went all in and quit my job for it.
I just watched a fansub recently where they replaced some environmental text in the background, and they used the ASS format to render the english text out of focus and seamlessly match the depth-of-field effect used in the show. Some groups really go above and beyond.
I don’t think this post deserves the downvotes- it’s a statement of confusion, but the confusion comes from an honest, understandable place and there’s a clear answer to the question.
Even if they cant, for the period when there are lots of people vaccinated and also lots of people infected, that's lots of mutations happening in infected people and then trying to jump into vaccinated people, giving it more chances that one of those mutations would then spread from vaccinations people even if current mutations don't (which isn't known yet). If it spreads from vaccinated people already then that would be even worse.
They're covering what I want to read, they effectively make my screen smaller.

Would the EU directive also mandate there be no consent popups? Otherwise they'll probably remain and annoy people, even if they are mandated to follow DNT.
I believe the same thing. We need a fast vaccine update cycle. We also need much faster production. It looks like the mRNA vaccines have the fastest turnover cycle. IMO the government should employ emergency measures to force Pfizer and Moderna to upgrade their production facilities to 10x what they are now. Get other companies involved. Pour as much money as necessary.

Fortunately, it seems there is openness from the FDA to have a faster approval cycle for vaccine tweaks. Moderna is already working on a "booster shot" to try and increase immunity to the South-African variant.

I wish that we also had other therapeutic tools to combat COVID. I wonder if we couldn't save people who are getting hospitalized by employing drugs that block the receptor the virus uses to enter cells. Similarly to the way HIV is kept under control. That could save lives and it would be more mutation-proof.
If you read the 4th bullet point in the article you'd see that the data is actually stored on the device. Users will go from seeing only cookies, which are opaque ids, to their full behavioral profiles - basically, the opposite of what you just said.

> medallions have generally been considered a great investment;

I'd put a citation needed on that.

There's nothing that keep a city from doubling the number of medallions available, other than some shady lobbying groups. There's a reason most banks shy away from these assets (and those who touch is consider them extremely volatile assets).
Paged Out is great, Rafale appears to be offline though (and French only).
A big change is that there is vaccine production capacity now, and the new vaccines can go through an approval process like is used for annual flu shots, meaning a new vaccine can start mass production in a few months vs the (very quick) year that it took this time.

A year ago there wasn't much more than experimental capacity to make mRNA vaccines. Now we are at tens of millions of doses a month and scaling up.

There is a difference between consuming information and learning.

Consuming information on Reddit/HN/etc doesn't do much for you until you apply that information -- or at least paraphase that information into notes.
Yes, they were very similar. For example: http://www.lowlevel.cz/log/imgs/gemini/pdas.jpg
It doesn't matter if you write it down or not. You'll forget it anyway. The writings will look like someone else wrote them and someone else learned them.
Eh, it depends on what you're calling "the signal of interest."

A spike train, the output of a neuron, can reasonably be represented as a binary signal (1=spike, 0=no spike) at 1 kHz. In fact, I'd say this is nearly standard.

The neuron's membrane potential, a combination of its current inputs, intrinsic properties, and recent history, changes on faster timescales. Whatever processing the brain does probably does not use this information itself, but one probably wants access to it anyway for experimental and practical reasons.

The signal that an extracellular electrode picks up isn't that 1 kHz spike train. It's many of them mixed together and you'll need finer features to tell them apart. In other words, you can't just invoke Nyquist, sample at 2 kHz, and call it a day.

I wouldn't say that, but I would say that 2FA is insufficient. MFA, where the "M" includes some non-zero level of trust in the devices used for user and application runtime becomes essential.

"2FA", as commonly implemented in many scenarios is weak and only helps address certain scenarios -- TOTP tokens, for example, are pretty trivial to compromise. Critical infrastructure needs hardened tokens and clients with more controls.

The point here seems not to have independent professional fact-checkers, but to crowd-source it.

On the one hand, I certainly struggle to see how more crowds will improve upon what is fundamentally a problem with crowds to begin with.

On the other, Wikipedia seems to work reasonably well--and purely as a result of the community mores, not due to any sophisticated moderation algorithm or ranking structure or similar.

I'm not holding my breath, but it is interesting to see if a community-driven effort imbued with a Wikipedian-like spirit might succeed where more automated efforts have not.
